Borderlands 3 Launches with Denuvo Anti-Tamper DRM

Borderlands 3 will launch with Denuvo Anti-Tamper, the third-party DRM tech that has found increasing popularity among big releases. The upcoming Epic Games title is one of dozens of games being released this year with the controversial anti-piracy support. The announcement, which was spotted by eagle-eyed Reddit users, was made in an update to the game’s official Epic Games Store page. Denuvo protection aims to prevent the unauthorised distribution of games, and has been used in South Park: The Fractured but Whole, Middle-earth: Shadow of War, Total War: Warhammer 2 and FIFA 18, among others. But it’s not foolproof. Each of those games was cracked within hours of their respective launches. Likewise, Devil May Cry 5, Metro Exodus, Resident Evil 2, Far Cry New Dawn, Football Manager 2019 and Soul Calibur 6, were each cracked within the first week of their release this year. In 2018, DRM developer Denuvo Software Solutions filed a lawsuit against a Bulgarian hacker, who had cracked a number of Denuvo-protected games. The hacker, known by his online alias Voksi, was later arrested. Subscribe to the VG247 newsletter Get all the best bits of VG247 delivered to your inbox every Friday!
